text: SEEKING FREELANCER(S): New York City well-funded startup (Midtown Manhattan). Remote work is possible.<p>I need:<p>1. Dev Ops: Node.js/Mongo/Redis/nginx/AWS backend programmer with good dev ops experience. Video experience helps (Transcoding, knowledge of formats, knowledge of storage techniques). Prefer someone that has scaled a cloud-based network globally before and understands the idiosyncrasies of caching and file propagation on such a network.<p>2. iOS developer: For cloud-based video sharing application. Must have good experience with AVFoundation. Any experience with video encoding or editing is a plus. Shaders a huge plus. But I need someone that understands how to send said video and other media across a wire using REST and sometimes more lower-level networking techniques.<p>Send email to ian_at_brabble.com.<p>Thanks! Please forgive any mistakes above I pounded the descriptions out very quickly.

text: looking for a "data reporter", Burlingame, CA and/or remote<p><i>About Us</i><p>We think that OkTrends (<a href="http://blog.okcupid.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.okcupid.com/</a>) is one of the best blogs for compiling research on real-life usage patterns in an interesting, visual, way, and we want to re-create it for car-buying.<p>We also think that people should be able to buy a car using the internet for as much of the transaction as possible. Our mission at CarWoo!(YC S09) is to become "THE Transactional Car Buying and Selling Marketplace."  We are getting closer to our goal all the time, and have now seen many thousands of transactions come through the site. We're sitting on piles and piles of data, and we need to get it out in a more broad way.<p>To fulfill our mission, we have to get the word out about who we are. That's where you come in.<p><i>About You</i><p>You should be curious about patterns in data, have a background in research or other relevant experience, and have a knack for writing in a way that is relatable to ordinary folks, yet packed with insight and deep understanding.<p><i>More Details</i><p>We've got lots of ideas on posts, you'll be free to add your ideas to the pot also. As far as the actual content of the posts, think lots of charts, statistical analysis of our data, and a story around everything from who our visitors are, to what times of the year people do their car-buying, to trending &#38; popular cars, etc.<p>If you're interested, email me at adamc@carwoo.com<p>This would be an ongoing project, with a steady stream of work.

text: Remote<p>The work is for a photography shopping cart product called "Photography Orders". You can see the product here: <a href="http://www.photographyorders.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.photographyorders.com</a><p>Photographers upload their photos and sell them to their clients using this software.<p>What I would like is to build an app so that photographers can upload photos from their iPhone.<p>The application would have the following screens<p>1. Login screen
- Username and password. Authenticated from their installation of Photography Orders
- Photographers would need to enter the url where their Photography Orders is installed on this page. (This URL would need to be remembered so that they don't need to enter it in all the time)<p>2. Select client and gallery screen
- This screen would have a dropdown button where the photographer selects the client they would like to upload photos for
- There would be another dropdown button where the photographer selects the gallery they would like to upload photos into
- There would be another dropdown where the photographer selects the category they would like to upload photos into
- Then there would be a button where the photographer could tap "Upload photos"<p>3. Upload photos
- When the photographer taps "Upload photos", they are shown a screen with all of the photos on their phone on it. They can tick which photos to upload, and then click "Upload", and all of the ticked photos will be uploaded and processed the same way they currently are in the application
- While the photos are uploading, the photographer will see a screen that says "uploading photos". I would like a progress bar to show how many photos have been uploaded so far, and how many are left to be uploaded
- Once photos are uploaded, they will be taken back to screen 2 that has a message at the top that says "Photos Uploaded Successfully"
- If photos fail during upload, it needs to display a meaningful error message<p>I will also need the app submitted to the app store (it will be a free app)<p>Please email me luke@photographyorders.com if interested

<a href="https://koding.com" rel="nofollow">https://koding.com</a><p>- Devops / Developer minded SysAdmin: this is a very important role, PUPPET, Chef, AWS, Linux, LXC, OpenVZ. Xen, VMWare, you should just have this immense desire to automate and simplify everything, and be a product person, plan, implement and ship - not a maintainer that lives in their cave until things crash, and apply one off server tweaks.<p>- Frontend Developer: HTML, CSS, Coffeescript - Familiarity with Node/Ruby/Mongo/Mysql, cool github projects is a plus, have to have your own website when we click your link, it should make us want to hire you.<p>- Backend Developer: Go, Node,Python,Ruby,Coffeescript, MongoDB, RabbitMQ are the things we use. More you know these, the better. If you miss some, don't worry, if you have a strong OOP background, and designing/working on large scale apps is your thing, just drop me an email.<p>We're open for remote, part time or full time in San Francisco. Only thing we don't want is that you have multiple clients. You can be a student or very experienced individual, and work for Koding 20 hours a week, or work a day or two. You just shouldn't be managing multiple clients and not show up for Koding because your other client had emergency. We want Koding to be the only thing you think about, when you're not working, when you go to sleep, when you wake up.<p>At this stage we're more willing to have VERY experienced developers, and we're very generous with rates. Our current freelancers have stocks in the company, we don't favor in house developers (alright, maybe just a little :)). Some of our freelancers make more than those are in the office. Your location has no significance to us, just your work. If your work is awesome, your compensation is equally awesome.<p>This summarizes the type of person we want, (my contact information is here)
